Not in the store, unfortunately. You can sort the tutorials category by "New Arrivals" to see newer items first, of course, but for specific release dates, I default to performing a web search for the product name to find a third-party site listing that information.

You can also find release dates here:

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php

but it's somewhat awkward to navigate, whereas Google is fast and easy.

The product release dates are on the product read_me pages.  You can change the SKU in this link to whatever SKU you're interested in, or else you can use the Daz Deals browser extension that puts a readme link on the product page.

This has been a pet pieve of mine for some time now, but not just with Daz, but gerally all printed matter on the net, like articles, or anything where knowing how much time has passed since the tutorial, article, etc. was published is of critical importance in ascertaining whether or not its contents are still relevant. Having to do acrobatics these days to figure that out is yet another sign of contemporary decline with regard to a myriad of standards that once served a very good purpose, like here in the publishing world.

Or install the Daz Deals Browser Plugin - it makes the link to the Readme show up as a clickable link to the right of the SKU ...

What does SKU stand for ? and How do you change it to get form this   https://www.daz3d.com/moshi-the-kitten to this http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/73609/start ? 

 

Thanks

The SKU (which means "stock keeping unit") is a product's unique reference. You can see it on each product page, under install types. In the case of the kitten it's 73609.

You can see that this number is in the URL for the readme. So if you want the readme for another product you just change the number to reflect that product's SKU.

You can also use the SKU to give you an idea of the release date.

Technology changes at a very fast pace these days compared to the past.  It is very difficult, expensive and time consuming to keep things up to date.

I got it now .Thanks a lot.

There really should be release dates on the content page. Especially tutorials.

I got this http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/32791/start .

This is the truck that is in the tutorial and the rigs and all still work  http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/33641/start

So I guess every is ok.

No one is disputing that.  Quite the contrary.  That's exactly why the dates are important.
